Extract

In a study of recent political thought in the South, it is necessary to delimit the area called “The South.” Howard Odum included fourteen states in his practical design for the “southern regions.” The President's Committee which reported in 1938 on economic conditions in the South covered thirteen states. The southern governors of fifteen states joined in the regional educational compact. The Manufacturers' Record, published in Baltimore as the industrial organ of the South, reaches out to sixteen states. V. O. Key limits his study, Southern Politics, to those eleven states which have consistently stayed with the national Democratic party. This author in the main refers to the eleven states which once seceded to form the Confederacy; coincidentally, these are the same eleven states that Key found to be “solid” in national politics.

21 Gellhorn, Walter, in a recent issue of the Harvard Law Review, Vol. 60, pp. 1193–1234 (Oct., 1947)CrossRefGoogle Scholar, gives a carefully documented analysis of how the Committee on Un-American Activities came to the conclusion that the Southern Conference on Human Welfare was “a most deviously camouflaged Communist Front Organization.” The communist Daily Worker reported in 1938 that among the 1200 delegates to the Conference there were 5 communists. Subsequently, following the argument of “guilt by association,” the House Committee on Un-American Activities has inferred communism in the whole group.

Judge Waring, virtually ostracized in Charleston, was widely acclaimed outside the region.
